However, bridge-building experts around the world thought that it was impossible. It had never been done before.After much discussion, he made his son Washington, a great engineer, believe that the bridge could be built.The project started well, but a few months later, an accident took the life of John Roebling. Washington was badly hurt and he was not able to walk or talk. However, Washington never lost his heart. He still wanted to complete the bridge. But all he could do was to move one finger. So he decided to make the best use of it. By moving his finger, he slowly developed a way of communicating with his wife.He touched his wifes arm with his finger, “telling” her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same way to tell the engineers what to do. The project carried on again.For 13 years, Washington tapped out (敲出) his instructions with his finger on his wifes arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the Brooklyn Bridge stands as a monument(纪念碑) to one mans unbeatable spirit.It is also a monument to engineers and their teamwork, and to their faith in a man who was considered crazy by half the world.（1）Why did the bridge-building experts think Johns idea was impossible?A . Because the technology was poor then.B . Because no one had done it before.C . Because they didnt accept new ideas.D .

It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegies advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:Be friendly and polite.Always greet with a smile. Begin with “Excuse me” or “Would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.Go out of your way to be nice.Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.Remember names.They say that the sweetest music to a persons ears is the sound of his or her own name.Be open-minded.Try to understand other peoples ways and ideas and learn something from them.Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.（1）What does the underlined sentence “No one can live a completely lonely life.” mean? A . No one can live a hard life.B . No one can live without difficulty.C . No one can live alone.D . No one can live on an island.（2）Why do some of us find it not easy to make friends? A . Because we are afraid of making bad friends.B . Because we are shy to take the first action.C . Because we feel sure that we already have enough friends.D . Because we feel worried that we wont be able to keep our friends.（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage? A . John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie.B . Friends are always friends.C . Few people bought Carnegies book.D . The writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie.（4）What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A . How to Make Friends.B . A Famous book about friendship.C . Friendship is the first.D . Something about John Donne and Dale Carnegie.14. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。Dear Ken,Im glad to hear from you.

However， we now send emails to others and chat with people who live quite far away on the Internet.Heres some advice on how to succeed in your online language exchanges：How to start a conversation when speaking English online When you speak to somebody online， start by asking “Yes or No” questions. Use questions such as “Do you like ?” or “Can you ?” or “Have you ever ?”Remember your goal. You are trying to learn about the other person. Think about things you enjoy and try to find some common ground between you. And share your own experiences to show that you have similar interests. If you only ask questions， you will sound like a policeman or a policewoman!How to keep a conversation going “Listen” carefully. In that way， you can get to know somebody well. When you know him or her well， you will have more to talk about.Then ask follow-up questions. After you “listen”， use what you “hear” to learn more about that person. Use “open ended” questions， such as “What do you think of ?” or “What was the most interesting experience .?”Remem
